Aha, understood. That makes sense.

Did you apply or did your boyfriend/husband? You're clearly Thai, thus no need for a visa.

2. No. 3. Up to you. You can apply for one online, at the border or in person at the embassy in Bangkok or consulate in Khon Kaen. Not many people who aren't traveling to a remote border (where visa on arrival facilities aren't available) and who don't have a car would apply for a visa in advance, though it is an option.

For entry via the Friendship Bridge, there's little point in doing so. However, an e-visa can help you save time at the border and space in your passport.

You have 3 weeks to go before entering Vietnam; that's not tight at all. The visa is the only thing you need to secure at least 3 business days before entering the country, unless you get an emergency 24 hour processing visa-on-arrival.

People often use these terms interchangeably. As long as the rest of the context indicates which one is desired, it's easy to provide the correct advice.

@David *******

You're the arrogant, entitled jerk on here, so it's you who should go home, little offended snowflake.

@David *******

Yes you are

@David *******

Another entitled begpacker coming to Thailand. There are way too many of your types coming here these days. Arrogant know it alls (who don't actually know anything) with an incredible sense of entitlement.

@Suave ****

No, you don't. You just need the money in your account.

Enjoy the Banh Mi and bia Hoi, Thailand doesn't have anything like it. Other than at Paul, Tops and some foreign owned bakeries and major hotels, the bread here is dreadful and the beer is even worse. Thankfully Beer Lao is widely available in Thailand and imported beer from other countries is also sold in major supermarkets.
